ROADCHEF, one of Britain’s biggest motorway services groups and owners of the Rownhams services on the M27, could be put up for sale.

The firm could be sold by its Israeli owner after it reportedly hired advisers to find an outside investor for the business. An information memorandum has already been distributed to potential buyers and expressions of interest in RoadChef are expected to be tabled sometime this week.

RoadChef, which operates 27 service stations in the UK, changed hands less than two years ago.
